Adult General Education Core

The core curriculum for Continuing and Adult Education provides a broad foundation
in the Arts and Sciences. The liberally educated person should be aware of the need
for communication with other people, insight into human nature, scientific understanding,
philosophical reflection, and religious appreciation.

Most adult learners, depending on choice of their major area of specialization, are
required to take the following courses in general education. Students who have completed
the IAI general education core curriculum should take the coursework listed below.

Saint Xavier University is a participant in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI).

Flexible Scheduling

Students may take online, hybrid and in-class instruction during the day, evening
